All of this continued to be intriguing. And quite impressive that there haven't been any "leaks" but merely sparse official releases.

Polished aluminium, rectangular solid or perhaps pentagonal, possibly multiple units, possibly variable or moving panel...applaud the 'veiled' photos.

Has anyone heard them?

I guess the photo is supposed to 'illustrate' how sound usualla bounces around in a room - and what we will hear (with the new speakers) is the attempt to control this chaos in order to improve the experience of the sound at home.

Thanks MM.

It dawned on me only later after carefully looking at the height that they could not be it and then I re-read an article on direct vs. reflected vs. diffuse sound and put it together in my head that this a photographic metaphor for the acoustic issues/challenges the new speaker has had to find solutions for. Furthermore, I couldn't see any drivers or apertures. I was definitely fooled for a second into thinking B&O had invented acoustically transparent aluminium...! Big Smile

Note how all, who are in the know, are keeping their lips sealed. They won't even comment on its sound...B&O becomes Area 51...Ha ha! Laughing

The 103" Beovison was a lot more than that and they still sold some, plus it raised the company profile.

B&O pricelists always show the price of ONE Beolab.

If you want to listen stereo you'll have to pay 148.000 EUR. Devil

I understand the UK price will be £50,000. So either that is for s pair or you only need one. Now that would be interesting!

But has anyone ever actually managed to buy a single one? Is this a case for consumer watch? Big Smile

Unless they are one of the most remarkable speakers ever made and not just intended to raise B&O's profile I can't imagine a market for them.

If B&O have got it wrong at this price their reputation will sink like a stone. If they are truly exceptional it will lift all their products and profile.

Hi all,

 

Bang & Olufsen has a tradition of iconic aniversary models.

50th aniversary Beomaster 6000 4ch, Beogram 6000

...........

90th aniversary, Beolab 90.

If they really are £50000 plus then that rules me out completely; far beyond my budget despite saving up over the last year or so. I guess I will have to look at non-B&O alternatives. Such a shame.

If they are as expensive as people state then I really hope it is the right strategic and financial move for B&O and it does well for them (even if it rules me out).

They surely won't please everybody with these speakers - especially not the 'hardcore-stereo-sitting-in-the-sweetspot-all day-guys'.

And P.S. The price rules me out too - anyway, I am very eager to hear these and to experience, what the sound-guys in Struer deliever as a beginning of a new generation BeoLab.

Of course this is the right strategy from B&O because you will be the only poor boy who will not buy this new speaker. Big Smile

I will sell my house, buy a surround setup with these new Beolabs and then live on a campsite. Then I can listen to Pink Floyd all day long and don't need money anymore, because my wife will leave me saying 'Shine on you crazy Diamond!'

Informations, that I received personally.

Only very few B1 dealers will have it to listen.

It will presented in autumn, date is not given. Surprise.

Unfortunately, no new BeoSound will be launch to connect with it.

It is a High End loudspeaker in aluminum with squared form.

Very Limited edition made in Denmark.

The name should be BeoLab 90 Big Smile

Not in Sweden. The price given are for two speakers, unless it is a solo speaker.
